France is AI was organized by ISAI, BPIfrance and La French Tech – aims at gathering all the players (startups, tech companies, research centers, meetups…) to support the ecosystem. For 2 days, the French AI community gathered around fascinating panels, engaging discussions, practical workshops and networking.

To enter the startup competition, startups had to leverage Artificial Intelligence technology such as traditional Machine Learning or Deep Learning techniques (proprietary or open-source algorithms).

We are very proud to be one of the 5 finalists (amongst 85 startups) to pitch during the event. We won a trip to NY and SF to meet the US AI ecosystem and interact with top tier US VCs.

The 5 finalists and winners are :

BioSerenity :BioSerenity is a medical device company focused on developping smart healthcare solutions. Our first product is the Neuronaute, a mobile EEG system using smart clothing that allows for long term monitoring of EEG signals in order to help with the diagnosis of epilepsy.

We help those who suffer from air pollution (runners, cyclists, asthma patients and young parents) prevent its impact on their health thanks to our air quality forecasting app, our AI for personalized recommendations, and our hardware for personal pollution sensing – for a world free of air pollution.
